I've been wondering if any people on the QR Boards saw Loreena perform back in the 80's and early 90's (this is assuming she was performing at the time). I thought it'd be interesting to hear what a comparison of shows then to now. Well, that, and I'm still curious to see if anyone has seen some Parallel Dreams live.

Hello Very Old Elf!

Thanks for correcting my dyslexic typing! I was excited at the fact that I can get on here!!

Going to "The Lyric" tonight with a friend who has never seen Loreena and is not quite sure what to make of it all!!

I did see her in DC in April and was blown away after over 14 years of a break!! And still the same care and attention as if in a small venue!

I let ye all know what happens! Can't wait!!

I wonder if anyone here can say they saw Loreena in her busking days in Toronto? That'd be weird, to remember tossing a few coins to an unusual red-haired chick and then to see she now fills concert halls regularly.

Dia dhuit Lisa ! (even if i know most of easter coast irish less speak gaelic than on west cost).

Have a good day .

Hi All!!

I am new to the board but I had to join when I saw this topic!

I first saw Loreena in Dublin in Oct. 1993! It was in "Whelan's" on Wexford Street, a small canaverous venue and she was brilliant. I remember saying at the time that she was exactly the same live as she was recorded - pure sound. She did nearly everything from "The Visit" inc. "the Lady of Shallott"! But I will never forget her rendidtion of "Greensleeves" that night: powerful.

Everyone kept shouting up other stuff that night that I didn't know at the time and I was hooked. We've known her for years in Ireland but it was through an american friend that I got "The Visit" first... She's been part of my life and shound for a VERY long time and long may that last.

Going to see you next Friday in the Lyric!! A far cry from Whelans, eh!! Still, you try and keep the same intimate atmosphere and for that, a huge Thank YOU!!

Love Lisa, ex Dublin, now Baltimore.

Cool!

I saw her in 1992 in Calgary (it could have been 92). So, she performed The Visit and all the earlier stuff. She was mesmerizing!

It's been a very long wait and we are happy that she will be in Dallas tonight!
